The Premier League delivers its first full fixture programme of the season this weekend, and today, we’re focussing on Saturday’s mouth-watering quarter of top-flight tussles

Running alongside the more popular match result and goals markets for Saturday’s games are the often overlooked but equally lucrative corners and cards options offered by the bookies.

Those particular markets require some extra elbow-grease and research to find trends worth backing – and that can sometimes be a little off-putting.

However, at FST we’ve done all the hard work to bring you the very best value in the corners and cards markets this week – and below, we’ve compiled a four-fold accumulator based on our research that comes in at a tasty 13/1 for a selection of the weekend’s action.

Don’t forget – you can also find all of our match previews and betting tips for all the fixtures we cover on our football predictions page.
